Question

How do you react when people try to control you?

Answer 1

There are many forms of "control", your job controls the hours you spend there and what your actions are during those hours.  If your in school then you are controlled by your classes, teachers, and parents.  If you have signed a loan contract for a house, car, or any type of credit, you are controlled by the terms of the contract.  

The above forms of control are a part of day to day life and have specific consequences if violated.  

The other types of "control" are a much more personal type of control when one person trys to dominate another person in a relationship.  That type of control is very unhealthy and should NOT be tolerated in any way for any amount of time.  

Certain kinds of "control" we have to learn to deal with and the other type of control we need to not allow in our lives no matter what.

i make them fail.

Answer 3

I used to lash out at them! but know i act mature and tell them i hate being controlled and that i can make my own mind up what to do

Answer 4

Depends on who they are, their skill level, and the reasons.

But mostly, I just look them down and try to regain control/peace..

Answer 5

I get all Viking on them !

Answer 6

depends on my mood and with whom. if i'm in a challenging mood with a female i will usually let it ride to see what lengths they will take it then let it backfire in their face by showing they have no control whatsoever. with a male i tend to be on my guard on a more alert scale, i make myself very clear i av more than one brain cell so am able to use my own mind all by myself thanks. usually i have feedback like, what is your problem?  are u a L*****n?   are you anti man?  or, your so defensive!  your very paranoid!  either way, in all situations what i sense from a person has not yet let me down.

  

Answer 7

I can't be controlled it just makes me angry.

No-one should try to control somebody else. If you are suffering this, make it stop.

Answer 8

I avoid such control freaks, though sometimes it is fun winding them up to see how quickly they get annoyed.

Answer 9

Mostly, people who feels they've been controlled, will have the urge of rebellion. Nobody wants to be controlled like a robot. But we have to understand why the controller wants to be in control of other peoples lives. What is his or her relationship with.Is he a husband who wants to control the wife or vice versa?  Boss to employee? Friend to a friend? Parents to children? And so on. It is not good as it may seems but it may be helpful for some people. It depends who is controlling and controlled. Parents usually tried to control their kids because they has to be guided till they become a responsible individual and ready to face the real life. Because most kids really doesn't know the reality of life but thought they know everything, parents usually predicts or foresee what will happen with their kids because they passed to it and at the same time understands it, just sometimes doesn't know how to deal with the situation (kids).
